    dpkg-deb: Allow to set the build timestamp using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
    
    In order to allow Debian packages to be built reproducibly, we need a way for
    users to reproduce the dates captured in the .deb archives.
    
    dpkg-deb now support the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable. If set we will
    use its value for the build timestamp instead of the current time. The build
    timestamp is used to set the modification time in ar headers, and for archived
    files created later than the build timestamp.
    
    SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH specification is available at:
    https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
